I had to make this same decision some time ago. It killed me to recycle =
the tool because it worked just fine apart from the battery issue, but I =
did wind up parting with the Makita and getting a Ryobi drill motor and =
battery. My advice is you pinch your nose and do the same.

That said, I now have several Ryobi tools that all work on the same =
batteries and chargers and life is a lot simpler. Related =E2=80=93 =

The older battery powered drills have batteries that can be disassembled =
and reassembled without damaging them so that you can rebuild with new =
cells. I have done just that with one of my favorite Craftsman drills. =

upgrades from Nicad to NiMH. Onlybatteries.com is my go to choice for =
materials.
